We've written about hundreds of recipes since the early days, and this being a "Best Of" week here at Food52, we thought it was only fitting for each of us to bring back a few of our late summer go-tos.

My Best Tomato Sandwich -- when it comes down to it, there's no better vehicle for summer's most coveted fruit/vegetable.

Steak with Arugula, Lemon and Parmesan -- a quick turn on the grill, and dinner's on the table. (Amanda, here: I made this last night for a group of 12, served on a large platter and passed around the table. Huge hit!)

I'm a native New Yorker with a decade of experience as a private chef, cooking instructor and food writer/editor; I have a culinary degree from Le Cordon Bleu, as well as a highly practical BA in Comparative Literature (Italian and English). I live with my husband and daughter in Park Slope, Brooklyn, where we visit the farmers market most weekends.
